102 Stuart Street, Savannnah, GA 31405 (Active)


While there are many fine homes in Savannah for sale, the number of truly contemporary styled properties is very limited. Contemporary homes are difficult to find and are scattered throughout few neighborhoods or developments. Therefore, when a property such as 102 Stuart Street becomes available, there's a great deal of excitement.

The home at 102 Stuart Street, designed by Savannah architect Walt Bazemore and built by former Savannahiah David Sawyer and the owner Gary Weil, was constructed in 1984. Even then, the property created a stir and was profiled in a full page article in the Savannah Morning News. Living Section Editor Mary Dowell described the property by saying "There is very little that is ordinary about [the home]. Certainly, not the exterior facade --- its angular lines and curves carved out in pale, pinkish tan stucco, presenting a relatively dramatic departure from the more traditional styles in the area. Nor is the interior any less unusual, featuring among its highlights an eye-catching curved hallway of light-filtering glass blocks, a kitchen wrapped in bright turquoise, and a room-sized master bath centered by a sunken whirlpool. But perhaps the most extraordinary aspect of this unusual home is its total integration of two features that are often mutually exclusive --- high style and practicality."

The single-owner property, set on a triple lot (between 1-2 acres), is nestled in the heart of Savannah and is convenient to anywhere a local resident needs to go. Even though its location is typically described as being in Habersham Woods, this home is set apart from the others. Therefore, the property is very private. The home footprint is set far from the roadway and is separated by numerous trees for added privacy and quiet.

Numerous features make this home unique and desirable. These include such items as:
- Two master suite options, both on the ground floor
- Primary master with room-sized spa/bath & enormous walk in closet with built-in drawers, shelves, & racks
- All bedrooms open to the swimming pool area
- Spiral staircase opening to upstairs playroom/gym (or flex space)
- Full bar for entertaining
- Formal and informal dining rooms
- Built in speakers for stereo systems
- Private bath for each bedroom
- Bedroom-sized laundry room, with closets, cabinets, & more
- 4-car garage (rare in Savannah)

With over 4100 square feet, a prospective new owner will have incredible flexibility in the use of the existing rooms. With four bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths, this home would be great for a family, for owners needing guest space, for singles and couples who work for home & need his/her offices, and more.
